“So I’m going to get on to the very exciting aspects of Bernardo’s circus first, which is of course, the event and property use agreement, which that’s more exciting for us as council members. We really like to dig in and make sure that everything is kosher here.”
“I do understand that uh staff has gone out and talked to several properties, but the one group of properties they didn’t talk to was right north of them, across River Lake Road and the villas. Uh, you know, just letting people know that this is going to be coming again, it probably won’t be as bad as some of the, uh, or some of the traffic intensive as some of the other projects that we’ve had there. So I don’t see it to be a major issue. Uh, but since they weren’t informed, I would ask the staff to work with Bernardo’s to, uh, maybe give him half off discounts or something. Uh, just to say, sorry we missed you, but other than that, I think it’s going to be a very interesting circus that comes to town.”
“Dave and Busters acknowledges the violation. They take responsibility. They’ve taken action in response to this, including terminating the employee. They’ve retrained the entire staff in responsible alcohol sales and service. They’ve also added more layers to ensure that all staff fully understands the severity of the situation. This includes additional signage by POS regarding sales to minors. Uh, requirement to I.D. all, um, all patrons, as well as a daily sign off that each employee is required to sign before they start their shift. Regarding carding, individuals and the severity of the situation.”
“These are two separate motions. Uh, and I don’t think that they’re linked in any way. Uh, so I, you know, when it comes to what we’ve done with this, every, you know, six months is generally comes up. So this is our third or fourth time doing it on as this council. Uh, there’s been smaller shops, there’s been big shops and we don’t waive it. You know, it wouldn’t be fair to anybody else.”
“My license is this way under 21 is this way. Makes it very, very, very easy to not have to do math if it’s this way, you don’t serve. And obviously he came in with one that was that way. The issue about math is the minimum. It doesn’t matter. He he he saw something that was clearly under 21. It’s in the training. Uh, I know that, you know, everyone else knows that. Very aware. So, uh, you know, I think we have to do better with training. Uh, you know, I don’t know. I don’t know how you messed that up. It was a math. It was just looking at something that was clearly an under 21 license and then not doing anything.”
“the current language that’s in the code is the council may elect to impose a civil penalty of not to exceed 2000. So when it comes to the LPA product, there’s more discretion on the council”
“So this was a drink just like beer or cocktail. So I mean, this, you know, there really shouldn’t be any difference in, you know, doing shall versus May. We’re going to do you know I’ll write it up a shout because it’s the same thing.”
“we know we did not do our job. Uh, our clerk was immediately fired. We checked all of our records. All of our staff is up to speed with the services that Maple Grove provides. As far as the training, um, we I it’s no excuse. We had two other people who were on board. Right as it happened. Run up to the clerk and ask, did you discard that girl? And the guy was oblivious.”
“Endeavor intends to sell the property, um, to Arbor Lakes Industrial Park owners five and six. And as part of that, both those properties have existing TIF notes on the properties. Building five have has a 396,000 TIF note on the property, and building six has a 479,000 TIF note. Building six is farther from the original certification date, so staff’s recommending um implementing item 310 from the agreement and reducing that TIF note by 50%, which brings it on to 239,000.”
“the applicant is requesting an amendment to an existing PUD that would allow for a place of worship within an existing commercial building located at 1,683rd Way North. The, uh, the approximately 45,000 square foot building is currently occupied by Worley Ball and is approved as an entertainment venue. The applicant, River Valley Church, has leased the building for Sunday services in the past, and they are now proposing to purchase and occupy the building. Uh, for a excuse. Excuse me. Uh, occupy the building for a church use. Uh, a PUD amendment is required because a place of worship is not currently approved under the existing PUD.”
“The Planning Commission did review this proposal at their last meeting, and was overall supportive of the project. Discussion centered primarily on the church operations so that they do not create traffic impacts to the neighboring businesses. Uh, if attendance were to increase or additional services were scheduled during peak rush, peak traffic times, um, say on a weekday evening around 5 p.m., which is unlikely, but, uh, should that ever be the case? Uh, we’ve added a condition that, uh, the city engineer would would review the traffic plan and impose any mitigating measures necessary to to better alleviate any traffic impacts.”
“Our intent is to sell. Uh, it’s currently until this is a finalized, we didn’t want to jump the gun and move that forward and sell that piece of property. Should this opportunity not work out for us. But, uh, as soon as this goes through, we would be looking to sell that piece of property.”
“Neighboring residents have raised concerns about impacts on the adjacent residential properties from the possible expanded parking areas, and due to that, the Planning Commission motioned that if the church does expand their parking lot, a new see, a conditional use permit request and public hearing must be made.”
“Much of what has been discussed and shared with you is still current. There isn’t any new revelation. Uh, we did have a number of residents come forward at planning Commission again expressing concern over the big blue gray splotch of stuff on that, on that drawing, they were led to believe that that was part of this request, that it would, uh, move directly into implementation. And that is not the chapel’s plan at this point.”
“The public improvements for the project include extending sanitary sewer and water main from 101st Avenue to the north along the Ranch View Lane right of way. Um, and those utilities will be extended privately into the proposed development on the top of the screen. There. Will also be constructing a trail along the Ranch View Lane right away that will extend down from Arbor Ridge Parkway and match into the existing or the proposed emergency vehicle roadway on the bottom of the screen. There.”
“We have a few tables here in front of you that show the costs and assessments for the project we have on the left, the trunk benefit assessments for the different uses on site, totaling just under $1 million of trunk benefit assessment. And then on the top right, the proposed public improvement cost summary just over $300,000 for the trail, the sanitary sewer and the water main, and then the bottom right shows the total assessment to the development of just under $1.8 million, which includes some existing lateral assessments on the site.”
